Entering the final night of points on Saturday, only some bad breaks could disrupt Rick Laubach from his goal of a track championship at Bridgeport Speedway.

Beginning at his home in Hellertown, Pa., the day did not start out well. From a dead battery in his tow vehicle prior to arriving at the track to some mechanical issues in the first feature, Laubach survived those obstacles to win the second Big Block Modified main event on Saturday and the 2012 championship.

In the 30-lap point finale, Stan Frankenfield Jr., who earlier in the night had won the postponed feature from Sept. 22, took the early lead.

Laubach, who started the contest in 12th, moved into third on the 14th circuit as Frankenfield was comfortably ahead of the second-place-running Richie Pratt Jr.

In this second feature of the evening for the Big Block Modifieds, it was clear Laubach was back in form as compared to the first main event.

“We had a bunch of trouble,” stated Laubach about the electrical and motor woes that resulted in a lackluster 14th place result. On lap 19, Laubach had just moved past Pratt when the final caution period of the event occurred. When action got back underway, Frankenfield kept his advantage with Pratt regaining the runner-up position from Laubach.

Two circuits later, Pratt sped past Frankenfield to take over the lead. On lap 23, Laubach and Duane Howard motored by Frankenfield for second and third place respectively. Quickly, Laubach reeled in Pratt and used the outside lane to gain the lead for good with five laps remaining. Once in front, Laubach pulled away to grab his seventh feature win of the season and his first Big Block Modified title at Bridgeport Speedway.

In victory lane, a relieved Laubach summed up the evening.

“In the end, it was the best night,” beamed the 2012 champion.

In other results from Saturday, CJ Jones and Ricky DiEva won the 20-lap feature events in the Crate Sportsmen class. With a sixth and fifth place finish in the features, Ryan Anderson claimed the Crate Sportsmen championship. Bill Liedtka took the lead as the white flag waved to take the 15-lap Outlaw Stock Car race.

On Friday, Bridgeton’s Tim Iulg led every step of the way to win the 20-lap main event for the 600cc Micro-Sprints.

Bill Thomas claimed the 600cc Micro-Sprint championship. Justin Stillwagon’s win in the 20-lap 270cc Micro-Sprint feature gave him the 2012 title in the division.

Nate Albright won his first career 4-Cylinder Enduro Car race as Mike Dunn claimed the championship.
